If given the choice - and the money was available for either - I'd go stock, or stock with overdrive. Keep it in the family - so to speak.

What makes you think the transmission needs rebuilding - those things are virtually bulletproof! What's it doing?

I'm not expert - I've only been working on these cars for about a year - but I have learned the hard way that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Agreed. Replace the front and rear gearbox seals and the front and side gaskets. Drain the oil and refill with Redline MT90 (pretty sure I was advised to use MT90 instead of MTL, I forget). Replace the nylon bushings in the tower and the switches and flush the breather you're all set.
An impact wrench with the correct socket (1 5/16 ... 1 1/8?) and some long drilled angle iron to bolt up the flange will make short work of removing the tailshaft nut.

Don't fret. Tony had sound advice. Replace the perishable bits (as described above) and it should be fine.
